pro ball sockets or rose joints ?
 

hey got a k1 , fitted the pro ball cups for peice of mind , only ran the car for one meeting , and luckily they only popped off a couple of times and not in the accual timed race ..

is it wise to fit rose joints ? or stick to the pro ball cups ??

cheers

I fitted the rose joints but broke two of them! so couldn't finish the race so i have gone back to the ball cups.
Unless I was unlucky??

ok cheers . soo its not worth changing from the pro ball sockets then ??

i fitted the lunsford turnbuckle set and had no issues at all, never popped off and tough as nails

had my piece of trouble with the schumi turnbuckles. now i am running Xray turnbuckles + the ball-bolts and they dont pop of, only when i deserve it :thumbsup:

cool , funnily enough , i have some xray rose joints from a t3 touring car , and have worked out if i add a 1mm shim they will have the same height etc as the shuey ball sockets , but would prefer to fit rose joints for peice of mind , but not sure if its safer to pop a ball joint instead of moving the stress point somewhere else !!:confused::woot:

I found even with the pro ball cups the steering links could pop off at the hubs, changed the outer ball cups to the rise joints and never had a problem since.

cheers rich :thumbsup: , soo you wouldn't use them inner and outer then ?

No, that would be too stiff and if you had a big enough accident you could break the steering rack.

cheers mate , just getting them all fitted ...:thumbsup:
